I only was forced to go through the piles last week because we had an appointment on Saturday with a financial advisor . . . in hopes of early retirement, which was dashed to pieces! <br /><br />I am now determined to figure out how I can make bigger payments onto the house and the school loans to get them paid off asap! So, I'll be doing much of what you did. All the payments are automatically debited, I have no idea how to "pay more" without writing a check. And I hardly ever write a check!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on the labyrinth post. I appreciate your thoughts, and encouragement.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-62573120788617930082012-03-01T10:33:15.523-08:002012-03-01T10:33:15.523-08:00Yea for reducing clutter!

I have got a huge pile of stuff to file & shred & I have no idea how that even happens when I've been the poster child for online everything since the moment it was invented! Between receipts & junk mail though the shred pile still grows out of control & must be tamed at least twice a year. Thanks for the reminder to get that out of here!Jenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-12468721180483502172012-02-28T19:35:11.522-08:002012-02-28T19:35:11.522-08:00I'm right there with you.

I'm usually pretty close to the money. I just hate all these insurance papers, bank statements, credit card applications, and etc that seem to pile up on my desk. I mean to shred, but it doesn't get done.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-3312948485456706322012-02-28T15:32:09.253-08:002012-02-28T15:32:09.253-08:00Instead of "the check is in the mail", n...Instead of "the check is in the mail", now we can blame the bank for all delays.

I love doing everything on line. I had to fight Bob to let me do it but he's comfortable with it now.

It's been ages since I've gotten a statement anywhere but in my email box. Good for you for going paperless! It's the wave of the future.

I have a drawer in the kitchen I throw receipts and staements into - gahhh, it's a jumbled mess, and virtually a complete waste of space, since I never dare venture in there. One day..

I also added a amall filing cabinet, which is now full!! But at least I have some more room in closets and cupboards... I've been doing online banking for a few years now, but haven't given up receiving statements in the post -- don't know why I can't give up the paper trail completely, but I suspect it may be a matter of 'trust' with the virtual connection!The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.com
